The Bradt guides are generally quite dense with important information, and this one is no exception. In general, it is difficult to locate guides about Belarus, and this one is quite helpful in that it also includes little snippets of stories about what life is like for those living in Belarus. It paints a realistic picture about the challenges and joys one might encounter while traveling there. The main complaint I have with the Bradt guides is that I wish they would include more visuals alongside the text as well as use a font that is a bit more readable than they one they have selected (too tiny!!). Overall, it's a great guide.

There aren't many guides to Belarus
an eyeopener in terms of the restrictions of Belarus--permission to enter, visa, etc. I am going there and this book has been very valuable. I learned to not answer the phone after I get in the room or answer the soft knock at the door by the lady of the night! There are many spectacular sights in Belarus

but the book was really quite useful overall for general tourism
On my trip to Belarus in Aug 2014 half the people had this guide, most likely because it seems to be the only English guidebook for the country that is available. It was slightly out of date, with some of the conditions in-country no longer applicable, but the book was really quite useful overall for general tourism.

Good travel guide, I recommend it
I really like the style of the author, it really brings Belarus closer to the Reader. Only thing I do miss from this guide are pictures.

Excellent guide to Belarus.
Excellent book, well written, beautiful photographs, lots of personal experiences of the author dealing with his frequent travels in Belarus, a country he obviously loves.

Balanced.
Good, and balanced. Much better than the Lonely Planet (Russia/Belarus)
